The bulk powder and liquid specialist, Arclid Transport has renewed its contract with Prometeon Tyre Group to fit tyres across its fleet of 45 trucks and 60 trailers. The agreement works on a fixed pence per kilometre (PPK) basis. Acrlid’s fleet features mainly 6x2 artics and tri-axle trailers which spend around 80 percent of their time on A-roads and the rest on off-road routes to quarries.
Andy Robinson, operations director at Arclid Transport, said: “Prometeon works hard to offer us the best tyre profiles for our fleet based on terrain and mileage. It takes the headache away from us so we can concentrate on delivering to our customers, knowing our fleet is running with the most suitable and fuel-efficient tyres.”
Prometeon monitors the fleet’s tyres to ensure the most appropriate product is fitted. This saw the trailer fleet recently transition to a different tyre specification that was more robust against operational damage and scuffing compared to the previous fitment.
Gary Lane, Prometeon national fleet manager, said: “The Prometeon G02 tyre, with its robust on-off-road pattern, is ideally suited for construction and tipper fleet operations, helping to reduce stone trapping.”
Robinson said: “Prometeon offers us a fantastic package which includes Prometeon Fleet Management Pro Services; not just in terms of the financial aspects, but the overall partnership and reliability of the products.”
“We strive for close working partnerships that deliver mutual benefits for all parties; with Prometeon we have a trusted relationship that continues to go from strength to strength, based around being fair and open with each other.”
Lane added: “By delivering excellent fleet management and the supply of premium tyre products, Prometeon has built a sustainable PPK contract for a valued customer; we look forward to supporting Arclid for all their tyre needs, both now and in the future.”
